Give Jubilee at Chum for 6 months and enter NSE at its lowest point, that would be around Jun-Aug next year... the NSE has not bottomed yet!

@speculz.After seven days they are supposed to send you an email with your details.But being the govt style CBK, you better visit them and enquire after the seven days.They will then write for you on paper your CDS account number and Virtual account.

I am still waiting for my details on email, more than two months later.Good thing , i did walk myself there and got it written for me.



Let the guy walk to CBK and demand his CDS account as long as the 7 working days had elapsed,this is the gaaament he is dealing with.

You will even be told that your resident bank has not responded with sijui SWIFT response and therefore you also need to head to your bank HQ and make some following there, kupata pesa sio rahisi hivyo.

Two weeks later I'm waiting for a call from them, Meru CBK-CASH OFFICE! I left them with an application for one year T-Bill.


By the time you get the CDS account the rates would have fallen back to 8%.
Can you call them.



I think it is a deliberate attempt to lessen the massive shift to Govt paper. I am 3 weeks after applying, CDS not ready, they claim a backlog as many people are opening up CBK CDSs...d'oh!


Walk to your bank treasury department and demand to know whats cooking.
The banks are delaying the process of opening the CBK CDS account to frustrate you so that you keep your money in their account and earn meager 5% pa!


Commercial banks CANNOT delay the process as their role is limited to confirming your bank acc details on the form. That takes about five minutes over the counter!

That 5 minutes is exactly what they take a month to do so that you get frustrated and invest in their fixed term accounts.
